Perfect Tire for 17x7.5 on 300zx?

[echonightsi]

Just picked up a set of 17x7.5 42mm+ wheels for my 300zx for a price that borders on the obscene. Now I know, not wide enough and the offset is still bad, BUT THEY SHALL DO! My question, does anyone know what tire size I need that would look perfect, not too small but not too large, just fits the wheel wells like butter?

Danke

Also Yes I have seen the tire guide, this size is not on their nor does it have visual interpretation for what I need. I dont want a 300zx that looks like some 15inch rimmed honda civic.

mac , goto a COOL tire shop WITH inventory of most of the sizes (ONE tire needed only here) and brands your considering.Mock up a piece of Cahdboard looking like your rims and after they remove say front rt. tire - you start putting / testing all those "choices" into the wheel well with mockup and get the CLOSEST LOOK to the REAL THING for best decision ?

Im scared of tire shops so I my pass on that. I feel like everything I do annoys them...... anyway. I googled for a couple more hours (giggity) and found a bunch of pictures of the tire size I want on 7.5 rims and Im 99% positive its gunna look great! Thanks!

225/45/17, very close to stock diameter and width for the 7.5 wide wheel

I went with 215 50 17 as the stock 16's on a 300zx already look to small so it gave it a .6 larger diameter. Although its .5 inches less wide... I cant win. Ill take it and save up for good wheels with a good offset like someone with a brain.
